This is really embarrassing, but I have seriously sprained my ankle.

I can more or less manage, but I can't quite manage carrying things, opening doors, and crutches, yet. I can eat take-out and delivery forever to avoid it, but I need some help with the cat-food and cat litter that got dumped just outside my door.

I might be able to help with your ankle, if you want.

I appreciate the offer, a lot, but I make my living on my feet, pretty literally, and I don't know how I could possibly explain to anyone why I'm suddenly no longer injured.

[bearshermark]

Wasn't as bad as you thought. Some ice and it was fine.

I don't think I'm that good yet, but yeah, fair enough. I'm learning some normal medical stuff too, though I'm sure you know how to take care of a sprained ankle. Could probably google it anyway.

I guess if you need anything else in the near future, I can help.

This is almost enough to make me regret my career choices. I've seen a doctor - and a sports medicine specialist. I'll be okay. Maybe when this is done we can see if you can do something about the state of my ankles, period.

[bearshermark]

Is there something wrong with them normally? Or just a repetitive stress type of strain?

[neverjedi]

The opposite of repetitive strain.
Too much time in boots so rigid they're basically ankle braces.

Oh, okay. I'd be happy to try and help.

Thank you.
